Reducing the Risk of Cot Death

Like all parents, you want to make sure you do everything to keep your baby safe. Sadly, in Australia each year over 3,500 families experience the sudden and unexpected death of a baby or child, either through stillbirth or during the first month of life, from sudden unexpected death in infancy (SIDS or fatal sleeping accidents), SUDC (sudden unexpected death in childhood) or accident.

SIDS and Kids works to find answers for parents by funding and supporting vital research into stillbirth, SIDS and safe sleeping practices. Through evidence based community education they aim to prevent these deaths and advocate for and support bereaved families.
